Maybe mplayer has better TCP tunning than ogg123 because the buffer fill stays around 37--40 % but ogg123 shows decreasing fill periodically with 128kB buffer. -- Petr -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Sorry for what seems like a real newbie question, but who actually sets the mount point? Is it the client/source, the icecast.xml file, or both? I find the IceCast configuration documentation quite confusing as it does not really explain mount points very well. If someone would take the time to explain things to me I would volunteer to improve the documentation. Case in point. I've been using IceCast for years, but never really understood what I was doing. Recently I installed IceCast 2.3.1 on my new computer. I have not configured anything - everything is the default out of the box experience. As far as I can tell the default icecast.xml file does not actually have any mount points defined, they are all commented out. Am I correct? I'm using the ODDCAST DSP with Winamp. As far as I can tell IceCast locked on to the first mount point I configured in ODDCAST, which happened to be example-complex.ogg, and now I cannot seem to change it. Is this how IceCast works, it takes whatever the client/source sends it and then automatically creates a mount point? My problem now is my ODDCAST DSP seems to be locked into example-complex.ogg as its 'destination' and won't release it even when I change the mount point in the DSP Config settings. I would like to change the mount point to something else, but I cannot figure out how. Has the mount point "example-complex.ogg" been locked into my Winamp configuration somewhere, or is something in the IceCast configuration that is forcing this mount point? I have uninstalled the ODDCAST DSP and reinstalled it, and the DPS still thinks it's configured to "example-complex.ogg" even though it has not connected to IceCast yet. I suspect there is some magic winamp/oddcast config file somewhere, but I am unable to find it (as Windows search mechanism is hopelessly lame). Cheers, Eric

Is it the client/source, the icecast.xml file, or both?As I understand it, a source client has to specify a mount point when it connects. If that mount point was already specified in the icecast server config, then the associated mount options will be applied. If the client specified mount point was not previously known to icecast, then a new mount point with the name given by the source client is created. -Eric Rz.
This is what i found out in use with the icecast servers. Mounts Can be made by each of the following: 1> The icecast.xml file define a mount with a username/password for this mount. Since most our broadcaster using edcast to broadcast the username is set to source. 2> The use of the global source password can create a dynamic mount. But, the best way is to define it in the icecast.xml file by the mount. By using the method 2 to create a new mount that is not defined, will cause relaying not to happen. We current create a mount, and assign a password to the mount for each of out broadcasters. We also, defined mounts without passwords for in house streams using the source password. I cant say much for shoutcast mounts we don't use them. basicly, the source password can be used when ther mount has not been assigned a password in the icecast.xml file. So I guess the answer to your questions is, the icecast/xml is the preferred method of setting the mount and password :) david On Tue, Oct 27, 2009 at 5:49 PM, Eric Kolotyluk <eric at sfu.ca> wrote:> Sorry for what seems like a real newbie question, but who actually sets > the mount point?
